Michèle Anne De Mey and Jaco Van Dormael – Kiss & Cry

Choreographer Michèle Anne De Mey and filmmaker Jaco Van Dormael reunite to present Kiss & Cry, a compact performance that invents a ‘nano-dance’ language. Using finger dance, live theatrical presence and real-time cinematic projection, the piece explores tiny lives and intimate narratives through precise movement and cinematic framing. De Mey’s dramaturgical rigor and Van Dormael’s cinematic imagination create a poetic, tactile mise en scène. The performance is moderated by Joséphine de Weck.

Choreographed and performed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.3 closes their trilogy with a mischievous, incisive dance that uses irony and mockery as modes of resistance.

Invoking social media codes and viral culture, the duo interrogates how queer and racialized bodies are seen, exposed and consumed.
